Political blackmail and military deception have caused chaos among the Turkish senior officials in Ankara.

Just before, the Ankara top leaders were still immersed in the fantasy of peace negotiations, but everything changed in a blink of an eye.

The German army advanced fiercely and successfully occupied Geinik, while Qukashia and Bolu were also being attacked by the most fierce and crazy German army.

Judging from the telegram from Marshal Grerumman, President Inounu, who was also a soldier and had served as the Chief of General Staff, knew very clearly:

These two places can’t be kept!

Once Qukashia and Bolu are lost, Ankara's portal will be opened and the German army can drive straight in without restraint!

Now, it's time to make a choice

The people of Ankara are not aware of the harsh situation on the front line. The government has repeatedly encouraged the morale of the people and told the Turks that the heroic Turkish army is fighting bravely on the front line, and the German offensive will be completely shattered.

They still believe in the government

But what is the real situation? People at the bottom don't know, but the big people at the top know it very well.

Some people have begun to suggest to President Inounu to abandon Ankara and retreat to Erzurum, so that once the situation worsens again, the Turkish government can withdraw to the Soviet Union.

However, at this time, President Inonu still showed the spirit of a soldier and the courage of a country leader. He refused this request without hesitation and told his staff:

I will fight to the end for Türkiye!

If Inonu is politically indecisive, then as a soldier, he is still qualified

While ordering Marshal Greruman to continue to hold on to Qukashia and Bolu, Inonu began to prepare for the battle to defend Ankara.

In his plan, Ankara would concentrate the last power of Türkiye, with all 500,000 troops. At this time, military support from Britain and the Soviet Union became crucial.

But then another piece of news came that made the Ankara government very passive:

On July 17, the legendary skeleton Baron Ernst Alexander von Breme issued a solemn statement:

Reject the Ankara government's peace talks proposal and will withdraw Germany's plenipotentiary negotiator, German ambassador to Turkey Kahn! Germany will not accept any peace negotiations until the massacre of German overseas Chinese is not resolved, Turkey's great master Ismet Inonu has not stepped down, and Turkey has restored true peace, democratic freedom, Germany will not accept any peace negotiations!

Now, the truth about Germany and Turkey's secret negotiations were exposed, and the Inonu government's situation became embarrassing in an instant.

The United Kingdom and the Soviet Union immediately condemned Inonu's treason and solemnly warned that if Turkey continues to secretly negotiate with Germany without informing its allies, the two countries will have to consider giving up their support to Turkey.

Of course, Britain and the Soviet Union would not really give up on Turkey, but they did not hide the disappointment of the Ankara government at all.

If it weren't for Türkiye, it would have been impossible to throw it to Germany, perhaps Britain and the Soviet Union would have abandoned Turkey like a broken sack!

The alliance is still there, but the alliance has already seen huge and irreparable cracks

Inonu was furious, and he vowed that if possible, he would strangle the hateful Ernst Breme with his own hands! He actually threw himself at the forefront of the storm so despicable!

And what is even more hateful is that the so-called "Germany plenipotentiary negotiator" Kahn is now also "exposed". Once Ankara executes Kahn, it will look very cruel in the Western world, completely ignoring diplomatic etiquette.

So no matter how much hate it, Inonu could only temporarily put Kahn under house arrest instead of executing him immediately

Wang Weiyi protected Kahn in his own way.

Never give up any companion, no matter what his identity is

Now, the whole world is focusing on Qukashia and Bolu. Under the crazy and strong German offensive, Qukashia and Bolu cannot defend it anyway, but the key question now is how long Marshal Greruman can hold on in these two places and how long can he win for Ankara.

In fact, Grerumman knew very well at this time that he might not be able to hold on for even three days!

The German army has all-round advantages in the sky and ground. Their bombs can easily explode among the Turkish army, easily destroy any defensive position of the Turkish army, and easily submerge countless Turkish soldiers in the smoke of gunpowder.

The Turkish army was completely mechanically and passively greeting the terrifying attack of the German army.

German tanks were advancing like a destruction, German assault guns were bombing unscrupulously, and German assault squadron completed breakthroughs like lightning

Grerumman didn't know what else he could use to defend Qukashia and Bolu!

Surrender? Once this idea flashes, Marshal Grerumman sneered at him and could die here in battle, but he would never consider surrender.

At most, when I am really desperate, I will use a bullet to end my life

Bad news kept coming to Marshal Grerumman, the 12th Infantry Brigade was completely wiped out, and the 15th Infantry Brigade lost all its defense positions.

In one day, the German army had completed most of the breakthroughs within the pre-set goals.

On the two wings of Qukashia and Bolu, the German Wehrmacht and Bulgarian Army and the Yugoslav Army are also quickly completing the encirclement.

Once they arrived at the designated combat location, all the Turkishia and Bolu were really finished.

Marshal Greruman knew this very well. He now had the choice to give up Qukashia and Bolu and retreat to the Ankara defense line, so that at least half of his troops could be retained. However, the consequences of this, the German army could continue to advance straight and launch an attack on the Turkish capital without completing the preparations for the Ankara defense battle.

There is another option, knowing that it is impossible, but you continue to stick here, even if you lose all your troops. Even if you can buy Ancardo for one minute, you can give the capital a minute of breath.

Marshal Greruman chose the latter without hesitation

He appeared in the most dangerous area on the battlefield and personally inspired his soldiers to fight to the end for the great Turkish Republic.

He shot one of his most trusted subordinates because he lost three positions in succession. He even sent his own son, Currymans of the 25th Infantry Brigade, to the front line, in order to tell all the soldiers:

The Glerumman family died here in battle for the Turkish Republic!

Grerumman fought desperately, and the Turkish army was also inspired by the spirit of the marshal and completely desperate.

However, just as Qukashia's Turkishi soldiers fought bloody battles under the command of Marshal Grerumman, news like a bolt from the blue came from Boluna:

Under the fierce attack of the German army, General Otanri, who was in danger, chose to conduct secret negotiations with the German army alone!

General Dietrich, who was carrying out a fierce attack on Bolu, learned of this situation and stopped his attack on Bolu immediately and personally received General Otanri's messenger.

History is always like this. When some people fight bloodyly for their country, others decide to sell their motherland.

This will happen in any country, any nation

After receiving the approval of Marshal Ernst Breme, General Dietrich accepted most of General Otari's request.

At 15:00 p.m. on July 17, 1942, General Otanri ordered Bolu to stop resisting and led all Turkish troops to surrender.

The Battle of Bolu ended in a weird way!

General Dietrich, who successfully captured Bolu, immediately commanded his 1st SS Adolf Hitler guard flag team division and entered the attack on Qukashia.

Qucashia, whose wings were attacked by clamping, is in danger

When Marshal Grerumman was not angry or even disappointed after learning about Bolu's surrender. Perhaps this day will happen sooner or later. Even if General Otanri does not surrender, there will still be other generals who will surrender.

There are not many generals like him who are willing to fight to the death for his country.

If a small boat in the storm of the German army alone faces the attack of the German army, it will be at risk of sinking at any time. No miracles will happen again, and the rest will be death and destruction.

The sound of cannons continued to sound, and the enemy was already advancing towards Qucasia. All the outer positions were lost, and soon the German army would appear within Qucasia.

Currymans hurriedly returned to the headquarters, reported to his father about the harsh situation on the battlefield, and suggested to his father that he would immediately evacuate this terrible place.

"Are you scared, my dear son?" Grerumman asked calmly.

"No, I'm not afraid." Currymans's answer was so loud: "I'm willing to die for my country, but you are different. You are the chief of staff of the Turkish Republic. Your responsibility is far more important than me. Please leave here. In Ankara, you can also command your army."

"It's not my army, it's the Turkish army." Grerumman smiled and corrected his son's mistake: "In Turkey, someone is already commanding the army for me. As for my responsibility, I'm dying here in battle!"
